PRS-T1 Why would a fully charged T1 shut down while in sleep mode?

booklover6 · 10-15-2012, 10:22 AM

My recently purchased T1, which has never been rooted, but does have a small hack on it, and is fully charged, has done this more than once. It is in sleep mode, but I haven't used it in 3 or 4 days, and I go to look at it, and it's blank. It has fully shut down all on it's own. Why would it do that?

It has 1500+ books and 191 collections, if that makes any difference.

It's a power-saving thing. From the User Guide: "The Reader will enter sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. After 3 days in sleep mode, the Reader will shut down/power off automatically. The automatic power-saving modes cannot be turned off."

I dislike it doing that as well it's fairly annoying to have to wait for it to boot up and rescan everything but yeah pssquirrel is spot on.

Oh wow, ok. That explains it, thank you! I was afraid my number of collections was causing it some irritation.
